Chapter 41: The Fog (1) (Revised Version)
This is the ritual of "crossing the spirit" mentioned on the fragment of the golden scales.
And the content of this mural is a ghostly palace called the Netherworld.
I saw two very familiar figures in the mural, Jiang Yuan and the Grasshopper.
"What's going on, a modern version of chatting." I said to myself.
"Of course not, they're trapped in another dimension just like you, and that's the most subtle part of the entrance tomb."
I looked back at him, "Who are you and why do you know so much?" ”
"Does it matter?" He looked at me very calmly, "What if you know?" ”
I said, "We're friends, and you've saved us three times and twice, at least let us know who to thank." ”
The man replied very tuggingly: "I have no friends." ”
I looked at him and said angrily: "Okay, you are a master, naturally you look down on us ordinary people, but I have a principle, if there is revenge, you will revenge, if you have kindness, you will pay back, 100,000, give me a card number, and cash it out immediately after I go back." ”
He smiled indifferently after hearing this, or a little helpless, "You are really strange, I rescued you by the way, you don't need to thank me in particular, if you really feel sorry for it, then only when I repay the kindness of your original bottle of water, is it always okay?" ”
I was a little speechless, and finally said, "Okay, since you don't want me to know your name so much, then I won't inquire, and by the way, how can I go in again?" ”
The man was stunned for a moment, "Go in?" Do you know that I almost got me trapped when I brought you out, and now you still want to go in? ”
I pointed to the egg-sized Jiang Yuan and the gnats in the mural and said, "I'm going to save them, I don't know what the hallway illusion is, I just know that they have been in that place for a long time, either dying of thirst or starvation, tell me quickly, how can I get in, and then how can I get out?" ”
The man bent down and picked up his backpack, turned around and walked in the direction of the gate, saying as he went, "You don't have to worry, without you dragging him down, that kid will definitely come out safely, and that little follower of yours will definitely be fine." ”
After saying that, he walked away with his backpack, he walked very fast, I chased a few steps behind, and I didn't see him around the corner.
I didn't have anything on me, but luckily there were candles and a miner's lamp left by the man in this burial chamber.
Standing in front of the mural with his hands on his hips, banging on the wall with his hands, shouting, hoping that Jiang Yuan and they could hear me, but in the mural, the egg-sized Jiang Yuan and the grasshopper still did not react, they were as if they were painted, one sitting on the ground and the other standing next to them.
Suddenly, the candle went out, and I was so frightened that I took a few steps back, and stood against the wall with the miner's lamp in my hand, staring at the extinguished candle with my eyes, and said to myself, it can't really be a ghost blowing out the lamp.
After waiting for three or four minutes, there was nothing unusual in the tomb, and even the old zongzi in the pipe did not react, so I breathed a sigh of relief and said in my heart, maybe the candle was of poor quality, and it burned half by itself.
The palms of my hands were full of sweat, and I wiped them on my body casually, holding the miner's lamp and trying to continue smashing the wall, because I really didn't know what to do but do it.
"What about people?"
In the mural, Jiang Yuan and the gnatfish are missing.
As soon as I tried to turn around, I heard a strange noise coming from the coffin behind me, and when I listened closely, it felt like an animal digging a pit with its paws.
I made up my mind, holding the bronze dagger in one hand, carrying the clay pot I picked up from the ground in the other, and moving the miner's lamp in my mouth to the coffin little by little, every second was in a state of combat readiness.
When I was less than two meters away from the coffin, I suddenly saw a pitch-black claw break through the ground, and I screamed nervously, and the miner's lamp in my mouth immediately fell to the ground, and the battery was thrown out, and the surroundings became pitch black.
I squatted on the ground and groped for the miner's lamp and battery with the memory just now, and when I touched it, I felt that something was wrong, my hand seemed to have touched a claw, and I instinctively pulled out the dagger and stabbed it, but the other party seemed to react very quickly, this time it was not stabbed, but my own wrist was twisted because of too much force.
"Who?"
In the darkness, a woman's voice came from across from me.
The voice sounded familiar.
"Someone, if you don't speak, I'll shoot." In the darkness, the sound of machinery told me that the muzzle of the gun was already pointed at me.
Suddenly my head started hurting again, and the sound seemed to have a stimulating effect on my brain, and as soon as she spoke, my head started to hurt.
"I ask you again, who is it?"
I rolled on the ground with my head in my hands, barely squeezed out a few words, and said, "My name is Xiao Fang." ”
In the case of absolute disadvantage, I chose the most risky method, self-report, and my thought at the time was that if this person was my friend, she would definitely save me, and if it was an enemy, then whether I said it or not, the result would be the same.
A pair of cold hands helped me up, and after the lamp was rebatteryated, I saw a woman covered in black mud.
"How are you? You're not dead? She was confused.
I squinted my eyes and covered the back of my head, "If you want to die, you are alive until now, who are you, do you know me?" ”
The woman looked at me with a frightened expression, "I'm Kang Yan, Doctor Kang, don't you remember me?" ”
I immediately had a woman's appearance in my head, as well as some fragments, and I looked at her closely, and yes, it was her.
Kang Yan was a little surprised to see that I had been covering the back of my head, and after she examined me, she said, "Who injured you?" ”
"I don't know, it's like this when I wake up, it always hurts." I looked at her with some confusion.
Kang Yan's body exuded a disgusting stench, I took off my shirt and handed it to her, she didn't refuse, she changed her clothes in the distance, I asked her what happened, why she climbed out of the coffin, not only that, but also got stinky mud.
Kang Yan was silent for a moment, rubbing his temples, "When I woke up, I found that I was tied to a stone, and my body was sinking with the big stone, fortunately, I had learned to escape before, and climbed out after untying the rope, but I found that I was the only one around, and the others were gone." ”
I nodded, now I'm a little confused, Kang Yan saw that I didn't speak, looked around, and asked me, "Where is Jiang Yuan?" And what about your brother? ”
I pointed to the wall behind me, "Would you believe me if I said they were inside this wall, or maybe they were inside this mural?" ”
Kang Yan let out an "ah", touched my forehead, and said, "What nonsense, how can two big living people be in the mural, you should be chatting." ”
I knew that she would be a reaction to me, I told Kang Yan briefly what I had just encountered, Kang Yan's face changed slightly after hearing this, she thought for a moment, suddenly looked up at me very seriously, and said: "The little brother you are talking about, is there a tattoo on the arm, the tattoo pattern is an exotic totem, a bit like, like, a phoenix reborn from the fire." ”
After she said this, I now think that the tattoo on his arm has a certain appearance, and if you look closely, the middle main part really looks a bit like a phoenix reborn from the fire.
